Lab Rat excitement is at its peak once again! Our call-out for entries has been successful, as we were flooded with your entries – it just goes to show that we’ve got a lot of talented Lab Rat stars in the community!

Last week we asked for your help to fill the empty spaces on the "Lomolocations map.":http://beta.lomography.com/magazine/locations/map We asked for entries in Eastern Europe, mid western USA and mainland China.

There was a slight glitch in the system over the weekend, and a bunch of you were unable to login to upload your photos for week 2. Well, we didn't want to leave you out of the fun, so we're extending the deadline of week 2 until tonight at midnight EST!

The second rumble for the Smena Symbol is over. The first time around we felt that there were not as many submissions into the night shoot category nor the b&w sections as we had hoped for. Hence we called for a second rumble!

If you make doubles with yourself, you can shoot a whole layer on a certain subject. Then rewind the film, insert it in (the same or another) camera and shoot a second layer. I like the repetition of subjects, form, structures. Good subjects to use are plants and flowers, I shoot one film with fruit and vegetables (be careful in supermarkets, sometimes they are unfriendleye there!) or one layer with my beloved dog.

The London based professional photographer and passionate Lomographer Adam Scott presents his Diana+ workshop. Join the 2 days devoted to the princess of analogue cameras and learn the newest top secret tips and tricks, see how to deal with unpredictable effects and meet the brand new Diana+ accessories.

With the introduction of the new Lomolocations map here in the magazine this section has been brought to a new level. There are already 1040 locations online and more being added daily. We believe that the map allows for a new level of navigation, meant to make it easier for you to find a review of choice.

The following guidelines have been prepared for you to see what it is that we look at before we publish a location. As you will see, the guidelines allow for personal freedom yet they point out several things that you should think about when writing an entry. A location should be a location. What we mean by this is that a location entry should be a specific place, not a general city. Therefore, Paris is not good, but the Eiffel Tower is great.

These days you can go on vacation all-year round... And, if you don't fancy the slopes and après-ski in the winter you can get jet off to another corner of the globe and catch some rays. It's a good thing that Lomography is an all-season activity!

One of the reasons that the whole website is being relaunched is to be able to introduce more wonderful functions and gadgets that will make your stay at our webspace more enjoyable. One such gadget is being unveiled today.

For the fifth time we are invited to present the world of Lomography at the Photokina 2008 in Cologne, Germany. This year we have chosen the theme "The Future is Analogue" both, as a statement of our belief in an analogue future, and a celebration of the unique creative film use coming directly from the one million + Lomographers, who devote themselves to creative analogue photography, embrace analogue lifestyle, and who are the very core of who we The Lomographic Society International are. This opens up a visual dialogue upon which a base for discussion and development is made.

While we received a really good picking for the Smena Symbol day shots, we are still on the lookout for other brilliant Symbol lomographs, but this time only for the following, in HORIZONTAL/LANDSCAPE orientation only:

We hope everyone had a blast showing off their best flower shots in our latest rumble! We received roughly 300 shots and we had a really tough time choosing between all the flowerrific entries! Congratulations to the following winners:

We know your thirst for competitions cannot ever be fully quenched, so we thought we'd let you in on one that gives you the chance to win some pretty awesome prizes. It's brought to you by our friends at this ultra-cool boutique in New York City called "AC Gears":http://www.acgears.com/.

Some of you have been wondering what has been happening with the Beta site and in particular what is the deal with your LomoHomes. We though that we could give you some updates about what we have been doing, but also what you have been doing.
